Need portable heat?
These are so cool.
Mr. Buddy makes a series of portable propane heaters that can be used in a car, tent, ice shack, garage, or as an emergency heater.
They use the 1 lb propane canisters, which can be had in 2-packs for about 4-7 bucks.
For an 10x10 ice shanty for example, I used the Hunting Buddy (6000-12000 BTUs) which turned a minus 5 degree outside temperature into high 60' in an insulated Eskimo 3I shanty. One propane canister got me approximately 2-3 hrs going back and forth from high to medium heat. It uses 1 canister at a time with a space to hold a 2nd one.
You can even attach a larger propane canister (like the ones you use for your barbecue) via cable to give you many hours of continuous heat (swapping out the smaller canisters can be a drag sometimes). Make sure to get the fuel filter too, which traps gunk that might gum up your pilot light.
They range from about 65-135 bucks. Absolutely essential for ice fishing!
Make sure to always follow safety instructions.
